The export container volume of the "Yixin Europe" China Europe freight train reached a new high in the first half of the year, with a year-on-year growth of 10.6%

In the first half of this year, Hangzhou Customs supervised the export of over 84000 TEUs of the "Yixin Europe" China Europe freight train, setting a new historical high for the same period and increasing by 10.6% year-on-year. Under the combined promotion of multiple measures such as the operation of high-quality special trains, market procurement special trains, the construction of China Europe freight train assembly centers, and the launch of automatic customs transfer systems, the export container volume of the "Yixin Europe" China Europe freight train has maintained double-digit growth for six consecutive months this year, demonstrating strong development momentum.

With the acceleration of the transformation and upgrading of Zhejiang's manufacturing industry, the goods carried by the "Yixin Europe" China Europe freight train are also undergoing iterative upgrades. High value-added goods such as machine tools and new energy vehicles have become popular goods for train transportation, "said Ye Qiuran, Deputy General Manager of the train operator" Yixinou "Trade Service Group Co., Ltd. Now, the "export list" of the train is gradually expanding from the "small commodity list" such as general merchandise, textile and clothing to high value-added products such as photovoltaic modules, smart home appliances, new energy auto parts, providing an efficient and stable logistics channel for the "Zhejiang Intelligent Manufacturing" export to jointly build the "the Belt and Road" countries.

The transportation modes of the "Yixin Europe" China Europe freight train have become increasingly diverse. On June 22nd, the "Jinhua Minsk" boutique train, loaded with Zhejiang made high-quality products, departed from Jinhua South Station. This train relies on segmented control both domestically and internationally, achieving exclusive services with controllable delivery time and stable performance. The entire transportation time is 2 to 3 days faster than conventional trains. At the same time, export rail public multimodal transport, import and export sea rail multimodal transport and other modes have been implemented successively, fully leveraging the advantages of long-distance and large capacity railway transportation combined with sea and road transportation, effectively reducing the transit time and loading and unloading times of goods, reducing logistics costs for enterprises, and further amplifying the radiation efficiency of the "Yixin Europe" China Europe freight train.

In order to fully support the development of the "Yixin Europe" China Europe freight train, Hangzhou Customs has launched a new generation of large customs clearance platform at Yiwu Railway Port, innovatively building a real-time comparison and closed-loop control mechanism for customs declaration forms, transfer forms, and logistics data, achieving "7 × 24 hours" all-weather automatic transfer. This measure enables time sensitive goods to clear customs quickly regardless of night or holidays, greatly improving the overall operational efficiency of the port.

At present, the "Yixin Europe" China Europe freight train has opened 27 stable operating routes, radiating to more than 160 cities in over 50 countries and regions on the Eurasian continent. Next, Hangzhou Customs will continue to deepen its business reform, promote the construction of a "smart customs", and make every effort to create an efficient, safe, and intelligent customs clearance environment to support the high-quality development of cross-border trade.
